Celebrity chef Stefano Faita to headline East Hill’s Homemade Happiness Week

In the days leading up to Winter Break, students at East Hill Elementary School (10350 Perras) in R.D.P. will enjoy Homemade Happiness Week: five days that will encourage them to slow down, connect and foster healthy family relationships through a love of cooking.

The week itself was inspired by the storybook 'A Snack for Santa,' an initiative by La Tablée des Chefs and IGA grocers. For that reason, on Friday, December 21 (1:15 pm), Stefano Faita, celebrity chef and restaurateur as well as Jean-François Archambault, CEO and Founder of La Tablée des Chefs will visit the school to cap off the week and present students with their own copy. 

“The book offers a beautiful holiday tale for the entire family and a number of recipes from a number of local chefs, including Faita,” said Jessica Monti, Vice-Principal at East Hill School. “Throughout the week, students will have the opportunity to create beautiful memories and foster strong bonds with their East Hill family. They are being asked to come in with a number of culinary accessories (aprons, oven mitts, etc.) and will be consistently exposed to aspects of the book through many events.”

Leading up to Friday, students will engage in the following activities:

• Monday: Storytelling Activity 
• Tuesday: Live Cooking Show with the administration
• Wednesday: Cookie Decorating (& special snack!)
• Thursday: Constructive Classroom Activities (oven mitts game!)
• Friday: Breakfast with Santa (AM) and closing assembly (PM)
